Our next Colette Insider is Hannah O’Shea, our Senior Handbag Designer straight from Colette by Colette Hayman HQ. Hannah’s fashion icons are Gigi Hadid and Rihanna and her guilty pleasure is accessories! Hannah knows a thing or two about bags and has given us the 101 on bag silhouettes.

THE WEEKENDER/ OVERNIGHTER BAG
The perfect carry-all for commuting, overnight get-aways, gym, uni… you name it! Our weekenders always feature a long, detachable strap and a back zipper pocket for convenience. There are also metal studs to protect the base of the bag from wet surfaces and dirt.

Hannah’s style tip: Dare to be bold! You’re taking off on a great holiday or adventure, don’t be afraid to choose a colourful or colour blocked weekender.

THE HOBO BAG
This hobo bag is a slouch-style bag with a long strap designed to wear over the shoulder. This is the perfect everyday bag as it is comfortable and easy to wear! It can fit all the everyday essentials and once again is great for work and university.

THE CLUTCH

Our clutches are designed for date night, brunch, formal events and anything in between! Our Fold Over style is a great transitional piece, whereas our Hard Case Clutch is to go-to for formal evening wear or to simply make a great fashion statement. Our clutches have all the right features to fit all necessities and are designed to be worn over the shoulder with our exclusive Colette chain strap.

Hannah’s style tip: Make your clutch your everyday bag. It is such an effortless way to add a fashion edge to your outfit.
